Pirate's silver-winged evil star

Chapter 73: Learning from each other

Hearing that Chen Sheng wanted to abduct his own daughter, Shigetsuki Koushiro's eyes suddenly became sharp, like an unsheathed sword.

"I'm kidding, President Chen. I think I'm good enough to teach Kuina in terms of swordsmanship, so I won't bother you, President."

The aura on Shigetsuki Koushiro's body seemed to be able to pierce his skin. Chen Sheng stared into his eyes and said without changing his tone:

"Your stereotype that women are inferior to men will sooner or later become an obstacle to Kuina's progress. You will form a stamp in her heart, and in her future practice, she will always hint that it is difficult for her to reach the level of a male swordsman, making her Continuing to learn from you may not be a good thing.”

"It seems that President Chen is very confident in his swordsmanship!"

Shigetsuki Koushiro placed one hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to draw the sword and attack at any time.Chen Sheng's words have touched his inner side. Koushiro's love for Kuina is absolute, even if he thinks that swordsmanship is not suitable for women.

"It can't be called proficient, but it's okay to perform one and a half moves." Chen Sheng responded.

"Then why don't we discuss it, President Chen?" Koushiro Shigetsutsu suggested as a vein appeared faintly on his forehead.

"That's good, it just lets your students see a real battle." Chen Sheng accepted Koushiro's challenge and said.

"this way please."

Koushiro got up with anger, took Chen Sheng outside, called his students over and said:

"This is the president of the Hunter Guild in the Grand Line, Chen Sheng. We are going to compete in swordsmanship next. It will be very helpful for your future if you watch carefully."

After learning Chen Sheng's identity, Koushiro's students were in an uproar and started chattering. They were young and full of longing for the Grand Line, and Chen Sheng, as the most recent figure in the Grand Line, was naturally the target of their discussion.

Under the command of Koushiro, the students formed a circle from a distance outside and stared at the two people who were preparing to compete.

Among the dozens of students, Kuina's expression was full of worry. The still young Kuina didn't know Koushiro's identity and origin, and was worried that her father would be injured in the competition.

In contrast, Zoro, who had never been able to defeat Kuina, was very interested in this competition. This was the first time he had seen a duel between swordsmen.

Holding an ordinary steel knife, Chen Sheng played with it a few times and said:

"Mr. Koushiro, please give me some advice."

"Please enlighten me!" Koushiro pulled out the sword in his hand and said.

The competition was not a life and death fight. Neither of them used the famous swords in their hands, but just fought with two ordinary iron swords.

Both hands clasped the steel knife in his hand, and the dark armed domineering force covered the blade, dyeing the long knife in his hand dark and oppressive.

"The knife in that man's hand turned black!"

"It's amazing, why is this?"

"I don't know. Wait, look, the knife in Mr. Koushiro's hand has also turned black. Why is that?"

Under the curious gaze of everyone, the two of them used their armed domineering energy to cover the weapons in their hands, and the battle broke out.

Koushiro stared at the weapon in Chen Sheng's hand and stood ready. Just when he thought Chen Sheng was preparing to attack, the weapon in Chen Sheng's hand took on new changes.

I saw Chen Sheng holding the handle of the knife with both hands and gently waving the long knife in his hand. After a brief warm-up, another layer of armed domineering covered the knife.

"What trick is this?"

As a daimyo family in the country of Wano, the Shigetsuki family has inherited the training method of armed color haki, including the advanced technique of armed color, Ryu Sakura Koshiro has also mastered it, but this is the first time he has seen a move that superimposes haki.

"I call this technique: Air Blade."

"By sensing the knife in your hand, you can find the principle of attaching the domineering aura to the weapon, and then attach the domineering energy multiple times on the original basis to greatly enhance the attack power and sharpness of the weapon." Chen Sheng replied.

As he spoke, two layers of domineering energy covered the long knife in his hand, and the dark knife gave off a pale cold light.

"This is an exclusive technique I have developed. As long as Mr. Koushiro joins the Hunter Guild, I can teach him without reservation."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to invite Koushiro, Chen Sheng continued:

"Remind me, sir. So far, I can cover up to three layers of air blades, and a total of four layers of armed haki. Mr. Koushiro, be careful!"

After being reminded by Chen Sheng, Koushiro did not attack immediately, but observed Chen Sheng with interest.

At this time, Koushiro had already ignored the unpleasantness just now. The fighting spirit of a swordsman was burning in his heart. How could he not compete with such a special skill?

So in Koushiro's eyes, the knife in Chen Sheng's hand slowly changed from white to cold, layer by layer, from white to yellow, and then from yellow to red.The four layers of domineering coverage ended, and finally the dark long knife in Chen Sheng's hand flashed with a terrifying red cold light.

The red air blade was superimposed, but Chen Sheng did not attack immediately. Looking at Koushiro's cautious look, Chen Sheng slowly put away the knife, holding the handle of the knife in one hand and the scabbard in the other hand, and moved his legs nearly one meter apart. , the body half-bent, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Is he actually a swordsman from Iaido?"

Koushiro was also surprised when he saw Chen Sheng showing off his Iai attitude. There were many people on the sea who knew Iai, but there were very few who were good at it.

Iai is also known as Drawing Sword. The essence of the move lies in the speed and power of the move. The swordsman concentrates all his energy and energy into one sword, and it explodes instantly in less than one second.The power of this move will exceed the swordsman's normal limit and is enough to kill an opponent stronger than himself.

It's just that although the explosive power of Iaido is powerful alone, its disadvantage is that it is weak in follow-up and difficult to parry when facing a larger number of enemies. Therefore, powerful swordsmen will learn Iai, but they will not specialize in Iai.

Today's sea is too chaotic and full of crazy pirates. Iai is only suitable for one-on-one duels, so Iaijutsu is actually not common on the sea.

Seeing Chen Sheng adopt an Iai posture, Koushiro followed suit and responded with the same posture.

Although Iai's shortcomings are obvious, in such a one-on-one duel, Iai is undoubtedly the greatest threat.Unless the opponent is far stronger than the opponent, it will be difficult to defend with conventional sword moves.

In this case, pitting Iai against Iai is the best solution. The two swordsmen gather all their strength and decide the outcome with one move!

As the two of them took Iai poses, the training ground was silent.The pressure of the two strong men was tit-for-tat, looking for each other's weaknesses, waiting for the opportunity to take action.

The onlookers didn't even dare to take a breath in such an atmosphere. Their hearts were beating fast. Some students even cursed themselves in their hearts for not living up to expectations, for fear that the sound of their own heartbeats would affect the competition.

In the dojo, a leaf left the branch blown by the breeze, spinning in the air and falling.The moment the leaves fell to the ground, Chen Sheng and Koushiro's momentum reached its peak.

"Ding!"

I saw a flash of red sword light. In just a moment, Chen Sheng and Koushiro changed their positions and slowly put the long sword in their hands back into the sheath.

With the long sword in its sheath, Chen Sheng stood up slowly, turned around and looked at Koushiro who was still maintaining the posture of drawing the sword and said:

"The end is set."

As Chen Sheng finished speaking, the long knife in Koushiro's hand broke into several sections and fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Is this an air blade? What a powerful attack!"

Koushiro dropped the bare handle of the knife in his hand and said with emotion.

In the confrontation just now, Koushiro caught the traces of Chen Sheng's attack and used the weapons in his hands to fight.

The result was also obvious. The sword covered with only one layer of armed haki in Koushiro's hand was clearly inferior to the sword covered with four layers of armed haki in Chen Sheng's hand.After a collision, Chen Sheng's long knife was unscathed, but the long knife in Koushiro's hand was broken into several pieces.

Chen Sheng was not happy because of this victory. Instead, he said: "It's just some tricks. In terms of swordsmanship, Mr. Koshiro is better."

From air blades to Iai, these are Chen Sheng's tricks.Although he has a unique martial arts talent, his knowledge of swordsmanship is limited to the basic swordsmanship of the Dream of Inheritance and the shadow of a few unlucky hunters.

Moreover, Chen Sheng has not practiced swordsmanship specifically. In a regular swordsmanship contest, he will definitely not be Koushiro's opponent.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Sheng chose to fight with the air blade combined with Iaijutsu to avoid his own shortcomings to the greatest extent and use his own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.

In terms of pure swordsmanship, Koushiro is actually far superior to Chen Sheng. This can be seen from the fact that he can find traces of Chen Sheng's sword in Iai's duel.

Iai's sword drawing speed is extremely fast. Without sufficient understanding of swordsmanship and dynamic vision, it is impossible to capture the traces of each other's swordsmanship.

Chen Sheng's victory in the battle was all due to the powerful attack power brought by the superposition of air blades. Koushiro's domineering power was destroyed with one sword, and no matter how many skills Koushiro had, he could not use it.

"Look, the master has lost!"

"It's true, the master's knife was broken."

"That's awesome! I will also join the Hunter Guild in the future!"

Chen Sheng's victory left a profound impact on Koushiro's students and directly changed their life goals.

Kuina looked at her defeated father from a distance, feeling a little complicated. She had heard the conversation between Koushiro and Chen Sheng just now, and the two of them had no intention of hiding it from her.

Watching Chen Sheng defeat Koushiro, Kuina actually had some expectations in her heart. Does Chen Sheng's victory mean that what he said is right, maybe women can defeat men on the road to become swordsmen!

"I have gained a lot from this battle. I will retire first. Mr. Koushiro remember to contact me. I will take Qiushui away first."

Watching Chen Sheng leave with Qiu Shui, Koushiro looked at the debris on the ground and began to seriously consider Chen Sheng's proposal.

"Today's class has been temporarily canceled. You should go back first. The teacher has some things to deal with."

After dismissing his students, Koushiro found his father, Shigetsuki Kozaburo, who was resting on the coast, and prepared to discuss Chen Sheng's proposal with him.
